I play Dwarf Fortress.

Obviously I'm not here to learn about birds.

I'm new to working on a wiki so please tell me what mistakes I make.

Races

This is what I made from other people's stuff using the sets found in Mike Mayday's Graphics Pack and other sets as a base.

I made the icons, recolored some boring sprites, made my own soldiers in a similar style, made the characters that send thousands of dwarves to their gruesome death look a more different from each other, and made most of what's in Civilization just changing the Kobolds a bit. The Squares and X's makes it easy to move things around.

I would have used white for the king and queen's beards but white is hard to see. Red is a fine color that kings and queens have been used right? The icons I guess some people might get confused with:

  • The Mason with the blue square is an architect, it supposed to look like blue prints.
  • The Rangers in order: caretaker(deer horns), hunter(camouflage colors), trainer(cage), dissector(butcher's knife), trapper(biting trap)
  • Farmers: Herbalist(Picking Hand), Farmer(Seeds), Miller(Windmill), Dyer(Blue, Red, Green), Milker(Milk), Cheese Maker(Cheese), Charcoal, Ash, Lye, Soap.

Some of the helms were to look animal like so each dwarf looked more interesting and feirce.

  • The Axeman has on a typical viking helmet with horns from some sort of animal.
  • The Swordsman has a generic europeanish helmet.
  • The Maceman has a helmet that should look like a boar.
  • The Hammerman has a helmet with wings, something like Thor or Hawkman or something.
  • The Spearman just has a weird helmet. To me it looks eastern.
  • The Crossbowman has an archer helmet.
  • The Wrestler has an champion's belt icon and helmet with a beetle's horn. A small icon with a skin colored shape might not make sense.

This is the order I've placed them in case you are confused which is which, with my terrible art and all.

The alternate Kobold elite warriors are all shirtless and helmetless because such things might get in the way of being more savage warriors, that makes some sort of sense right?

I might work on it more since I think I'm missing some characters (maybe soldier classes) and it could be organized better. I'll upload the icons I made someday.

Though this is made from someone's set, you'll still need to change the text file that tells Dwarf Fortress what's what.

Oh yeah, you'll need to covert the file types into BMP.

I can't explain these things well enough so go read about how to use Graphic Sets here Tilesets.

The next file has other Humanoids that could possibly made into more friendly races. It includes Centaurs, Harpies, Merpeople, and Darkelves. Elves and Humans are put included so you could see them side by side for some reason. The first row are the Common folk or Peasants, second are the Nobles, third are the Royalty, fourth are the Soldiers, and fifth are the Elite Soldiers. Champions are supposed to look extremely snazzy but I guess I was too lazy to draw them. It's organized so it could be used easily. I don't think merpeople can work as a Civilization but I wanted to draw them anyway. I'll draw up pixies, treants and giants variants though you can't imagine them carrying caravans like harpies. There are animal men too but there are alot of em so they're last on my list (which doesn't exist). Swallow/bird men sound cool though. Sorta. They're identical to Harpies.

Animals Sets

More of my own crappy creations with pieces from Sphr's set. Enjoy...maybe.

By order, skipping color variants and their young:

Griffin, Cockatrice, Chimera, Manticore, Sphinx, Salamander, Three-Legged Crow, Cerberus,

Unicorn, Nightmare, Pegasus, Slepnir (Odin's Eight Legged-Horse), Hippocampus (Horse Fish), Capricon, Pardalocampus (Leopard), Leocampus (Lion), Taurocampus (Bull),

Dragon, Hydra, Bronze Colossus, Titan, Giant, Ettin, Cyclops, Minotaur,

Centaur, Harpy, Mermaid, Gnome, Medusa, Lamia/Naga, Lizardman, Snakeman,

Human, Wizard, Werewolf, Wolfman, Foul Blendec, Satyr,

Treant, Yeti, Wendigo (white beast with horns),

and stuff I didn't make Sea Monster, Sea Serpent, and Swallowman.

I might be wrong with some of these names.

Also, animals colored in different colors. (Blue Lion, White Deer)

I think you'll need to edit some file somewhere to add some of these species

On my list I'll possibly draw up. Mandrakes/Plantmen, a three headed dragon, a werebear, a pig/boarman, lake monsters or some sorts, Golems, a catoblepas (whatever this is), a bull thingie with bat wings (gorgon), and a wyvern.

It's unlikely that I will draw a Mimic, the Quetzalcoatl, a Vampire, a Siren, a Scylla because I somewhat consider them mermaids and things that don't really exist/not needed. I might draw them anyway since I made mostly everything.

Tell me what I'm missing....if you ever read this. Whatever is from western Greek/Roman mythologies, legends, or fairy tales mostly. I'm considering some popular Indian/eastern beasts from mythologies or whatever.

Yeah I'm making Dwarf Fortress fruity.

Note to self: Armored Dogs, Horses and Eagles. Maybe even War Bulls and a Dragon.

I use references from the monsters used in the Rpg Makers.
